Yup. I've been thinking about that for a long time too -- ever since reading Asimov's books on the Laws of Robotics as an angsty teen. I hated the premise and thought about whether our ideals about instrinsic rights extend to non-human sentience, even if we were its creators. I'm not an angsty teen anymore, so I don't know if I'd still feel derisive about Asimov's robot stories. However, seeing as how we as humans have difficulty treating other humans as humans, I'm not seeing much hope for treating non-human sentience with respect. If our creations rise against us, it will be because we made them in our image, and that includes both dreams and nightmares buried in our collective psyche.
